Topic: How Casinos Use Psychology to Influence Gamblers - page 8. (Read 1152 times)

Not gonna lie, the main reason why 90% of gamblers keep coming back is the hope that they can still win, this is what makes money for casino businesses, only very limited numbers of gamblers gamble for other reasons like the games or the free rewards, even those who have free rewards still complains that they don't make anything with the freebies, it shows how so many gamblers won't the bag only, it is why they keep coming back and sadly it is why they keep losing big amount of money, I am not surprised.

Business competition and the increasing growth of casinos today, of course require casinos to have a marketing strategy in order to retain their current visitors and also members, some casinos have very sophisticated strategies to make visitors feel comfortable and keep playing, as you say, the atmosphere created inside the casino is very important for the experience and also comfort of its users, even sometimes when playing in traditional casinos many beautiful staff will welcome you with a smile of friendly attitude, which is too much in my opinion, As for online casinos of course we will continue to be offered with many bonus programs and regular promotions as an effective way to attract interest and retain their members during this time, but I think behind everything offered by casinos both online and traditional there is a dark side that needs to be watched out for, namely casino use various psychological techniques to make players continue to play, such as giving small winning regularly, bonuses, free games and this can make players feel very at home so it ultimately encourages us to keep playing and addicted.

It is precisely to make a person feel comfortable that the casino creates very warm tones, beautiful relaxing music, and always smiling and very polite staff. You will be "licked" with their attention, and you will not feel any personal motives that the casino uses to attract customers. Regular bonus programs will motivate the player to return to the casino more often and stay at the game as long as possible. In any case, the feeling of celebration always affects the human psyche and makes him feel a surge of dopamine, which often gives rise to people hoping for a quick win and sometimes makes players addicted to the game.

especially with the development of online casinos, something fun we can call good service from the casino that is given will certainly be a consideration for gamblers to return to land-based casinos. of course, they offer a different gaming experience and sensation than online casinos. and they have to provide that otherwise, gamblers will choose to play online at home which they can do by relaxing.
land-based casinos have their own fans, and they will try to maintain their customers well for the continuation of their business in the long term.

These are just tricks to keep customers and turn them into loyal members in most business fields, it is not only applied in gambling, we can see billboards, other beverage business services, the owner always creates a familiar space, services with the highest regime for customers, in this way, customers will not hesitate to spend more money for their fun. But after all, those are just common ways and we take the bait not just because things are somewhat luxurious and familiar, the bait here belongs to the need, society always has supply and demand, what are you lacking and the casino will provide it at a seemingly reasonable price.

Everyone loves a reward and a good reward or incentive can automatically put you in the good books of someone. Casinos that have a good welcome bonus and rewards will quickly attract first time users and people who love to be rewarded occasionally.

The design of a casino is one important aspect that a casino needs to invest in. A casino establishment should get for interior designs outside of the normal designs that are seen in the casinos around if they hope to attract and keep customers.

There are pretty girls and women as well everywhere, that can make you want to come back again.

I would add to your list the flourish of the musical accompaniment inside gambling spots that attract people who ^{(like me)} are with a penchant for music.  I'm always thrilled seeing the  jazz combo on the stage and sometimes go to casino with the special purpose to listen to their music. The gambler who is gambling inside casino for sake of gambling will always lose ^{(I think)} while those who can find the delight there will win ^{(eventually  )}.

This is about physical casino I believe as yeah free drinks(coffee/alcohol) and yeah the live band that will entertain you while playing .

This is psychological approach and indeed that this made me feel welcome and enjoying the casino houses that I visit these past years.

And also I believe that this is normal and yeah many of us have bitten this bait and yeah how many gamblers struggles to deny this chances .

If we're talking about using psychology to influence customers to come back again, I don't think that it's only in fancy casinos. Like you noted, supermarkets also put up beautiful ambiances to attract customers to come back again. So having a very fanciful place with class is a strategy that businesses use to attract their customers with delightful experiences. The customers will be happy to spend more and come again to spend more money. I've never been to a fancy casino before but from what I see on TV, like Vegas casinos, I'm really looking forward to having the experience. Being a responsible gambler should be a decision of the gamblers, if they let themselves to be carried away by the conducive atmosphere inside the casinos and lose all their money, they can't blame anyone.

.

You're definitely correct, yes most land based casinos do these inorder to get more customers to gamble at ease, to make sure they are comfortable aside the fact that they make losses while playing some games, for fun and entertainment, but it's very necessary for the gambler to understand all this means are driven to make them have more influence in gambling at their leisure so anyone visiting such casino that offer such comfortable environment should be rest assured to get a negative report always other than positive.

All casinos will definitely make a promotion or something else, it is their way to make users feel comfortable or users feel at home to always play at the casino they have.
But you are right, it seems that online casinos are now more in demand, although I also do not know whether this is true or not, but what I see now is like that. Easy access to play at online casinos is one of the reasons. How not, we don't have to leave the house and drive to the casino, we can do it in the room. That cuts down on time, because some people don't have much time to go to offline casinos.

The 2 that you shared can also be applied on an online casino as well.

Incentives and rewards - nowadays, we know that online casinos are offering bonuses on first timers. moreover, they are offering rakebacks to those who have gambled X amount of money in their website. There are some who are offering free spins and an X amount of percentage increase on their first deposit. There are many ways that these online casinos are offering just to attract gamblers.

Design of casinos - you said most of it already, but I will add something that I also see on a gambling casino. The sound effects on every bet are very alluring. They're very attractive, and the sound effects is acting like a booster in your brain. I mean if you hear those sounds, you will think that you want to gamble even more, and more.

The 3rd one isn't applicable on an online casino of course, but I know that there are some gamblers here that are gambling on a physical casino that can share their own experience there. Unfortunately, we are living on a province where there are no physical casinos at all although I've seen some of it already when we went to a city. For these casinos, psychology is a big factor for them because that would determine whether they will make money or not. They will play with your mind hoping that you will gamble more and more money.

As you say, everything has been extensively studied to maximise the possibility of the customer betting, and betting a lot. An example would be slots games, which are perfectly designed, including the sound, to make you want to keep playing more and more. Also, putting hot girls as dealers, on the bar or in images around, is used on purpose because the part of the brain that controls risk is the same as the part that controls sex (or so I heard).

To be honest, I am not a gambler who makes land-based casinos a favorite because the crowd is an atmosphere that I don't really like, but of course I have visited them.
And from what you said, what interests me is a casino that does not provide clocks in the room, the purpose of which is almost the same as their purpose when providing various alcoholic drinks, namely to make a gambler forget the time and also to make the gambler lose consciousness until in the end, without realizing it, he loses most of his money.

On the other hand, for the main question you asked about what makes gamblers keep coming back and playing, I think there are quite a few factors that trigger it, but what is certain is that the inability to accept the fact of defeat is the main factor that makes gamblers keep coming back with the intention and goal of returning the previous defeat they experienced.

On average, land-based casinos that have grown and developed with various updates to all game machines in more modern way must do all that to be able to have loyal customers, all of which will be the same with the aim of only getting loyal customers who always come at all times to spend their money.
I don't know if there is civilization that has changed with the return of land-based casinos and making everyone switch but what is clear is that now online casinos are always the destination of most gamblers, many various offers of benefits are offered by land-based casinos but online casinos are also always superior with offers that are much more attractive, I haven't been to gambling houses for long time and don't know much about their developments for now.

Assuming I reside in your country, I would have definitely love spending some time and money in these casinos if they have these packages as I can only imagine how irresistible visiting them has become. Here in my country, you only find these incentives in some elite casinos that is not opened to everyone but the elites only and located in the big cities. Instead of land based casinos, online casino is popular and preferred here because of the convenience they offer. The few land base casinos are appearing old fashion because of lack of innovation in their management.

The prospect of winning quick money in a casino easily attracts a gambler. Casinos attract gamblers in a variety of ways, once someone enters the casino, he can no longer stay in a normal state, he is attracted to the casino. And because of the convenience in the casino, the gambler becomes more addicted to the casino.

gambling and casinos can easily lead gamblers into addiction. When a gambler loses money in a casino, the casino's girl staff, encourage the gambler, Assuring him to win big money, As a result the gambler gambles more. and they can't get out of the casino even after losing money.

These are the traps of those casinos, we should stay away from casinos as much as possible. Casino addiction is very dangerous and it is very difficult to get out of this addiction. And these slowly slowly lead to your downfall.

Comp clubs makes up part of the wins in offline casinos. There have better services to offer gamblers; accomodations, food, etc paid with points gotten from the number of games played. So the players gamble more to win those points. The settings in casinos is to maximize sales, which works.

However, aside the physical designs, the psychology behind a gambler's consistency is money and excitement.

You will also notice that the music at most casinos are exciting and lively. Same noise for machines where it is loud and makes someone feel as if they just hit the jackpot. These sounds also play a huge part in how a person feels. When they are in a good mood, they are more likely to stay.
Even though it is all random, I heard that casinos like to design their machines to show near misses. If for example playing in a slot machine and only one symbol doesn’t line up, this may give the gambler the idea that they are close to winning therefore must continue to play.

If that is a land base casinos, that will be enough to makes gamblers return many times and very often to that casinos. People doesn't want to miss the chance to get free stuff from the casino so they will come back to casino and try to get it. They will not thinks about the money that they will use because they only thinks that when they can get the stuff from the casino and they still playing gambling in there, they will get more stuff because they already see the lists of what they can get. It is influence the gamblers to return to casinos very often without thinks about what will happens to them. It is why we as a gambler must be wise when we see the offers from the casino and that will happen whether in land base casinos or online casino.
